Get it Done at once by Laser PCB Etching
PCB, a foundational carrier of IC (Integrated Circuit), utilizes the conductive traces to reach circuit connection among the electronic components. Why is it a printed circuit card? the conductive traces also called signal lines can be printed and then etched or directly etched to expose the copper pattern which conducts the electronic signals along the given lines. The traditional operation adopts the ink printing, stamp, or sticker to protect the copper traces from being etched, during which, a large amount of ink, paint, and etchant is consumed which can result in pollution and waste discharge to the environment. So more simple and environment-friendly PCB etching - laser etching PCB turns an ideal choice in electronic, digital-control, and scanning and monitoring fields.
What is PCB etching with laser
About that, you will have a better understanding if are familiar with the laser processing principle. Via the photovoltaic conversion, huge laser energy from the laser source bursts and is condensed to a fine laser beam which comes with laser cutting, laser marking, and laser etching on the materials under the command of different laser parameters. Back to the PCB laser etching, UV laser, green laser, or fiber laser are widely adopted and take advantage of the high-power laser beam to remove the unwanted copper, leaving the copper traces according to the given design files. No need for paint, no need for etchant, the process of laser PCB etching is completed in one pass, minimizing the operation steps and saving time and materials cost.
Different from the traditional etching by solution, the laser-etched tracks are to be created along the real circuit contours. So the precision and degree of fine are virtual to the quality of PCB and integrated circuit. Benefiting from the fine laser beam and computer-control system, the laser PCB etching machine perfects the ability to solve the problem. In addition to the precision, no mechanical damage and stress on the surface material due to the contact-less processing make the laser etching stand out among the mill, routing methods.
